Nurses caring for patients with IBD in any setting, need to have
a basic knowledge of this long – term condition, know the
difference between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and
appreciate how it affects the patient’s quality of life, in order to

of patients.
Awareness of the key diagnostic strategies and of the main
medical and surgical options available in the management of IBD
is recommended.
